Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 8.1.

Statement introduced in Junos OS 11.3 for the QFX Series.

Description

Configure a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) router’s priority hold time to define the minimum length of time that must elapse between dynamic priority changes. If the dynamic priority changes because of a tracking event, the priority hold timer begins running. If another tracking event or manual configuration change occurs while the timer is running, the new dynamic priority update is postponed until the timer expires.

Note: When the track feature is configured, and if VRRP should pre-empt due to the tracking interface or route transition, any configured pre-empt hold time will be ignored. VRRP master will pre-empt according to the configuration of the priority-hold time.

Options

seconds—Minimum length of time that must elapse between dynamic priority changes.

Range: 0through 3600 seconds

Required Privilege Level

interface—To view this statement in the configuration.
